#chateaupotatoes
In the land of golden spuds, where the butter freely flows, A kilogram of potatoes, shaped into barrels, they transpose. Half the butter melts away in a pan on medium heat; The potatoes join the dance, turning gently, 20 minutes in the oven— browning neat. A sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper— to the dance they lend their flavour; The remaining butter joins the fray, a taste for tongues to savour. The dance concludes: the spuds are tender, their golden skin agleam; Garnished with fresh parsley, like a dream within a dream. Now ready for the ball, by the side of roast chicken— what a call.
